Published by New American Library, 1980. 'The nation's top sports event is a 450-mile marathon walk, a grueling road race for the fittest young men in the land, a terror trek where a single wrong step is probably the last. Victory means fortune and fame. There's only one winner and there are no losers.' Above is from the back blurb Stephen King writing as Richard Bachman. This is a vintage, rare cover, and how utterly cool is that image. Published before the Bachman name was uncovered as King. This is the best Bachman story in my opinion, so intense and involving from start to finish. Condition as pictured.
